    Which WoodMaxx Flail Mower

    I have an 88" side shift model for my L5740 Kubota. The side shift is nice to allow some cutting without driving over stuff. Its built like a tank so no regrets with my purchase. Personally I would go bigger and get a side shift model if you have the hydraulic remotes.

    Rotary Cutter Keeping Outdoors

    Paint fade for any sun that gets to it. More rust on exposed metal. If you don't clean it everwhere some moisture might cause rust. Other than that, critters might live under it. I keep my brush hog outside and after 10 years its pretty faded. But I grease it and it still works fine. Lots of...

    Newbie mini ex questions, and Kubota KX vs U series?

    As a guy who bought a KX040 a few years ago. I can say for sure, I wish I had more reach. Working in trees I have to be careful not to swing into a trunk, but other than that I am happy with the standard counterweight. If your cutting trails in slopes that might be deep enough for a...

    Is CL dead?

    Around here you search cl for something and get a hundred not really related results. I listed an expensive mower, got a text from someone several states away, they turned out to be a scammer. Two weeks more and no contacts, put it on equipment trader and it sold. CL is just not what it used...

    Buying New | KX-033 vs. KX-040 | Compact Excavator

    I also have a KX040-4 with 6way. Bought it a couple of years ago. I also wish the thumb was wider, I hope someone comes up with a retro fit. I use mine often moving brush and a full width or even one twice as wide would make a huge difference. I am quite happy with the power of this although I...

    1st Post- Looking at an Old L5450

    My first tractor was an L4350. That was a beast, I used it to push over 30ft cedar trees, mowing and moving dirt. It had about 3000 hrs on it when I sold it. If it had a cab, I would probably still have it. That series was super strong.

    Buying Advice  Cab and Mid Mower Options

    I am on the hunt for a 40ish hp Cab tractor that can run a belly mower. Kubota L3940 HSTC would be my first choice. As there are not too many for sale, I am wondering what else might be a good choice. I have an L5740 and will likely sell it after finding a good unit. It just uses way too much...

    Had a flat and didn't notice soon enough

    I was mowing in tall grass. There were some old tree stumps and I guess I hit one and it popped the bead. I didn't notice when it happened and when pulling back to the shop, I saw it was off the bead on both sides. The bead is split radially on both sides like the picture. Does it appear to be...

    Excavator Aux hydraulic ports

    I was going through the kubota configurator for a KX040. I am wondering what the aux hydraulic ports would be used for if you bought it with a thumb and hydraulic quick coupler. I could see one for a tilt bucket, breaker or drill. What would you want two aux ports for?

    L5740HSTC Backhoe worth it or different route

    I have wanted a backhoe forever. Had the L5740HSTC for a few years I hesitated getting a hoe for it since I would have to get out of the cab to do any work. I am trying to decide if I should even consider it or look for a dedicated backhoe loader or excavator and skidsteer as a replacement. I...

    Rear Finish Mower  Looking for the Better Rear Finish Mower

    I currently have a Woods RD8400 I pull behind my L5740 and it cuts well. My only grip is the clumps of grass it leaves behind. Even when doing light cuts. I am looking for something new that will handle cut grass and lay it out more evenly.

    Tilt Trailers and load balance

    I got a 72 incher and it's nice. I think I need to add some screen or something on the back. I don't like limbs poking through trying to scratch my tractor. In this case, I used the bottom bar on the lower jaw to break the limbs on one side. That made it easy to get in close with no limbs...

    Kubota L60 Dealer Installed Options

    Which L60 options are installed at the dealer? When pricing recently they seemed to discount the tractor and loader, but all other options seemed to be full retail. It then seems why not just get the tractor and loader and just add options as you need them. Of course this assumes most wanted...

    Searching TBN

    I must be doing something wrong when searching. I never get results I want unless I search a single word. If searching for front loader, I will get results with only Front or Loader and some that have absolutely no relavence to front loaders. Is there a guide to help make me a better searcher?

    HST-1 vs HST-3 L40 versions and years produced

    In looking at L40's I now see there are two versions HST-1 and HST-3 and maybe more. I undertand the new -3 incoroprated stall guard on the PTO. That's a big plus for the -3's in my opinion. What other improvements were added through the model run? Can you tell a -3 from the serial number?

    Fuel economy or usage based on size

    Lets say you have a 84" finish cutter and pulling it behind a L3240 works the tractor hard. A L4240 with the same mower doesn't work nearly as hard and a L5740 barely notices the mower. Would you still expect the L3240 to use less fuel for a given area cut, or would the L4240 be more efficient...

    Safe way to raise a 30' pole

    I want to stand one of those 30' aluminum light poles using my L4350. I know it can be done safely, but need some inspiration. The pole will attach to 4 lag bolts in concrete. It's not super heavy, around 10" at the base. I'll have a couple of helpers that can be on ropes.

    Decision Time

    I have had a L4350 Shuttle Shift for well over a decade. It's been a workhorse and a real joy to own. It has nearly 1700 hours.

    Canopy opinions

    Time to outfit the L4350 with a canopy. Being tall, I wonder if there are canopies that are better at keeping the heat from radiating through.
